That monitor is over 1/3 of your budget...

Here's a build from another thread I posted using newegg.ca prices
CPU Phenom II x4 955 $172
MOBO GA-790x-UD3 $106
above 2 combo http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.407591

RAM G SKill Ripjaw DDR3 1600 7-8-7-24 4gb kit $122.5
Case Anted 300 Illusion $70
HD Spinpoint F3 500gb $58
GPU 5850 $294
PSU OCZ Fatal1ty 550W 80+ $70 w/ $20 MIR
Optical Cheap $26 one

Total comes to $895 before $20 MIR, shipping and taxes.

Throw in an ASUS VH235T-P Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 50000 :1 $180

Bear in mind, that MOBO can't xfire and that PSU won't handle 2 5850's.

However, for the budget, that's probably the best gaming rig you can get.

Newegg.ca links don't seem to work well so just manually search for the parts.
